This Mornin'... Namesake Songs:

Mission Statement....

I decided to start this blog first and foremost for the music. I found myself spending a lot of time reading blogs - but there were so many of my favorite artists that weren't getting enough (or any) attention. So, my solution: start my own blog so I could talk about the artists and topics that I wanted to read about. There is no formal structure to this blog - I simply write about music that makes a certain impact on me. Also, I'm not here to give official album reviews or complete artist bios. I will provide enough info to get you interested, but I'll let the music speak for itself - it's much better than listening to me, anyway. So if you dig the folk/americana/indie scene and want to learn about some artists that don't get the recognition they deserve, keep checkin' back to see what I have to say. Don't be afraid to leave a comment and tell me what you think. Cheers.

Dylan Set To Release New Album In April

That's right, word is the American legend will follow 2006's bluesy Modern Times with "raw-country love songs, sly wordplay, and the wounded state of the nation" for a so far unnamed new effort. This purportedly twang-filled effort that is set for a late April release includes accordion on nearly every track thanks to Los Lobos' David Hidalgo. Track names include "Beyond Here Lies Nothin'," "If You Ever Go To Houston," "This Dream of You," "My Wife's Home Town," and "It's All Good."

I'll leave you with the same lyric sample that the Rolling Stone article where I first learned the news opened with:

"I'm listening to Billy Joe Shaver and I'm reading James Joyce.Some people tell me I got the blood of the land in my voice"
